FRANK G. DANIELSON - Vol III, pg 825-826
One of the successful business men of Minneapolis engaged in the drug business
is Frank G. Danielson, who owns and conducts a fine establishment at No. 2339
Central avenue. He was born in Sweden, on the 3d of October, 1872, and came to
the United States with his parents, John and Maria (Gustava) Danielson, in 1881,
when he was nine years old. The family settled on a farm near North Branch,
Minnesota, so it was in the public schools of Chisago county that Frank G.
Danielson received his early education. He began his commercial career as a
clerk in a general store in Marrow, Minnesota, where he worked for a year,
leaving to come to Minneapolis to enter Gale Peter's drug store as an
apprentice. After working there for a couple of years he entered the employ of
Ed Schumpik. A year later he became associated with W. D. King in a drug
business at the corner of Twelfth street and Third avenue, remain­ing three
years. During this time he passed his examinations and became a registered
pharmacist. When he had thus completed his training for the pharmaceutical
profes­sion, Mr. Danielson went to Ashland, Wisconsin, as the manager of a drug
store, which he conducted successfully for a year, at the end of which time he
purchased a store in Princeton, Minnesota, to engage in business for himself.
Two years later he moved to Hudson, where he bought another drug store and while
he was managing it he joined his brother in the purchase and operation of a
similar establishment at Emory, Wisconsin. Subsequently he sold his Hudson store
to invest his money in another pharmacy in Cumberland, Wisconsin, where he
remained for five years. His next and last move was to Minneapolis, where he
established his present drug store and pharmacy at No. 2339 Central avenue. This
is thoroughly up-to-date in every detail of equipment and furnishings, while the
courteous efficiency of the manager and his staff of assistants has attracted an
increasing number of satisfied customers. Mr. Danielson retains his interest in
the store at Emory and has branched out into other fields of activity as well.
He has financial investments in the Northwest Drug Com­pany, the Northwest Ice
Cream Company and is a large shareholder in the Dahl House, a summer resort at
Chisago City. Full of energy and entirely progressive in his methods and
outlook, Mr. Danielson is widely known as a successful business man.
Mr. Danielson has never married. He is a member of the Masonic fraternity,
belonging to the blue lodge at Emory, Wisconsin; the Chapter at Richmond,
Wiscon­sin; and Darius Commandery, K. T., and Zuhrah Temple of the Mystic Shrine
at Min­neapolis. Politically he is allied with the republican party. Frank G.
Danielson can always be relied upon to support a good movement for civic and
commercial develop­ment in his city and is counted one of the moving spirits in
the Central Avenue Busi­ness Men's Association. During the World war he made a
record in his sale of Liberty bonds, giving his time and energy unstintingly to
this patriotic work. He was captain of his district, having charge of the first
and ninth wards of the city. Since coming to Minneapolis, Mr. Danielson has also
made for himself an enviable place in the social life of the city as a member of
a number of clubs in which he is very cordially welcomed, among them the
Lincoln, Odin, Minneapolis Athletic and Interlachen Golf Clubs.
